Collison destination

From the ESPN rumor's page:
Could we ship Collison to the Hornets for some future pick? It seems like we could cover the backup PG minutes between Lance and a FA acquisition. Although it would be better to have whoever that target may be locked up before making a move like this. Collison back to NOH may make a lot of sense.
Wednesday spelled the end of the Jarrett Jack era in New Orleans -- he is headed to Golden State, filling a big need for the Warriors -- and that leaves Greivis Vasquez as the lone pure point guard on the Hornets' roster.
The question now turns to what New Orleans will do to address the sudden lack of depth behind Vasquez. Rookie Austin Rivers can handle the ball and could run the point in a pinch, but scoring is in his DNA and a distributor he is not.
Of the free agents that are still available, one has to believe that the Hornets could now look at Ramon Sessions, Aaron Brooks, C.J. Watson and Nate Robinson, among others.
We'll let you know when we hear of any names that New Orleans is targeting.
